  1. Fun fact. In 1982, after we lost to SMU1, I crawled along the top of that wall in an end run around the campus police guarding an ABC Sports banner that was hanging under the previous scoreboard. They were so busy watching the dozens of people that had the same idea to take it that they never turned around to look at it until I was safely under the West side upper deck. I'm still surprised no one that was observing it didn't tell them to turn around. Banner still hangs in my garage. 1 Craig James caught a touchdown pass and killed five hookers.
  2. Because there was no "GONG!"?
  3. That's North, amigo. That's the music building back there.
  4. ... and the melting horns.
  5. You lost me at "miss the Dome". Sorry. Love the memories. Hated the building and turf. Puhl smoked that pitch. Put a Blue-Star on that one!
  6. Unreasonable to you, and perhaps me, but that doesn't matter. Clearly it is significant to the players and teams. The suits can say there won't be any more demands. This is a final agreement and is intended to encompass and resolve all demands.
  7. I have no objections to anything that's been requested. Again, I cut the deal and move on down the road before the players either (a) demand something truly unreasonable; or (b) the matter blows-up in our faces and the ultimate resolution becomes inconsequential as to the perceived failure to act. Florida's actions today only turns up the heat on Texas. Get it done.
  8. I believe you confuse compliance with capitulation. My point is only that if the alma mater is the price, take the deal.
  9. It appears one side is not inclined to cooperate, and that's their prerogative. I just side with the notion that if they cannot work out a compromise that the "Eyes of Texas" is not where the suits should draw the line in the sand.
  10. Because they've given up on governing and focused solely on ruling.
  11. I"m getting so old. All I want to do is fix that lamp and mow that fucking yard.
  12. My 14-year old and I were pulling into the parking garage off Noel and stumbled right into the fleeing masses. I’ve never seen anything like it. We knew exactly what it was without having to guess or ask. Haven’t heard who, why, or how many yet.
  13. Philmont cancelled the remainder of the summer treks. We're done. Deja vu all over again
  14. So you hate the Yankees' players?
  15. Don't recall him or anything he's written
  16. Please, oh please, sweet little 8 pound 6 ounce baby Jesus let this happen. See above re Rubio. Florida voters are all over his behind re his complicity with Trump. Rubio may need to run for President in 2024. His term ends in 2023 and he'll need the work. Cornyn is more secure, but he deserves to be relegated to private law practice for the same ridiculous offenses. He'll be in the resistance between now and his re-election in 2026. So, the enablers and dipshits that did the head-dipshits bidding, just walk away. Sorry, but there must be a price for bending the knee, capitulating your constitution oversight duties, and going all-in on whackadoodle. I foresee those Republican Senator's that consider themselves vulnerable will spend the time between now and their re-election backtracking and covering up complicity with Trump. Lisa Murkowski has looked around, seen what is happening to Susan Collins, and just broke ranks today by endorsing Mattis' op-ed.
  17. I had to fight my way out the stadium after the game. We exited to the field and a friend of mine had a beer tossed on him from the stands as we were walking behind the hedges. He went up into the stands after the asshat that tossed it. I wound up getting immediately dog piled by what seemed to be half of the section. I was getting the crap beat out of me, but had one arm free and a clean shot, so I just kept pounding skulls with my cowbell. Some older Texas fan was trying to pull me out from under the pile as he was desperately screaming in a high pitch, "Come on Texas, we're outnumbered!" God bless him because he left and returned with an Auburn police officer. They escorted us to the edge of campus and gave us about a 30-second head start. We outran the mob to our car. Good times.
  18. I was there in '83 to watch Texas whip Auburn on the road. They had such high expectations coming into the season and i can still remember how stunned they were when we whipped them. That was their only loss that season and they wound up jumping us in the final AP Poll.
  19. This is the same asshole that still gripes about the "Central Park Five" being guilty as hell despite their having been fully exonerated
  20. I was forced back to the TexasBBS and a cold chill just ran up my spine
  21. Philmont announced that the June treks were cancelled, but July treks are still a go. It has left us scrambling to get prepared while still observing safe social distancing. None of the kids on this trek have been to Philmont before so I am setting up Zoom meetings about water treatment and packing. My guess is that it will all be for naught as soon someone out there thinks it through.
  22. Nebraska yes. They spent a ton of bucks fitting and retrofitting their facilities for broadcasting. Don't know about the aggies. I do know that Bill Byrne told DeLoss that it would never be profitable.
